I do not know if this applies to Windows XP, but the registry entry for taskbar button widths is:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
"MinWidth"="300"

Where MinWidth is the desired length in pixels of the buttons, allowing for more text displayed. A logoff/logon is required for it to take effect.

Like I said, this may not apply to XP, but it does for Vista/Win7 in case others find the same trouble.

i have the taskbar on the left of the desktop, autohiding and very wide, so all buttons are inevitably wide and readable
